About The Position

Our mission at Bitdefender is to reduce risk to customers’ business to allow them to achieve their objectives. We are focused on delivering real security value for an affordable price – no snake oil. To help in this mission, we are looking for a Senior Security Analyst. You will work in a tight knit, experienced team backed up by an international organization that’s been in business for 18 years.

The Managed Detection & Response service is a new line of business (think division, business unit, etc). We are an experienced team having built successful Managed Security offerings in the past and staffed by a multitude of cybersecurity organizations and veteran cyber-warfare operators from the military and intelligence services. We all got into this business to provide security services that make customers safer. We must make some money to do that, but our primary goal is to provide services that secure, not just ones that sell.

Our team has been around the block together and operate in a 24x7 environment where we manage emergency situations for customers. For this to work, we must trust each other. As a leadership team, we focus on building that trust through accountability, processes and personal relationships. We have plenty of experienced team members with and without families and understand that not all teams can be built outside of work, but we focus on teamwork to build authentic and meaningful engagement.

This is a full-time position in a 24/7 operation with a four 10-hour shifting schedule. Scheduled rotations for weekend shifts will be required
